GA Parting Renefaction."

Hitherto such relief has been granted to sur
viving soldiers few in number, venerable in age,
service, and as a parting benefaction rendered by
a grateful people, Presidents Message.
Why should not those who are dying
now, or who in all human probability
cannot live more than two or three
years, have this parting benefaction
as well as those who may die Is or 20
years henceG

Tha State Ticket.

The ticket placed in the field by the
Republican State Convention, at De
troit, last Wednesday, is one which the
party cen enthusiastically end consci-
entiously support. For Judges of the
Supreme Court, long term, Charles ID.
Long, of Flint, was nominated, and for
the short, j. V. Campbell, of Detroit.
The platform enunciated was exactly
what might have been expected from
the party's representatives, to which
nothing should be added or taken
away. The attitude of the republican
party on the question of prohibition is
well known--and among its members
can be found many who are strongly
i'm favor of prohibition, and who will
vote for the amendment. We ore of
those who do not believe because the
Legislature voted to submit the propo-
sition for Constitutional amendment,
that the party Is bound to support it..
Even if that was the case, the action
OF the Central committee OF the pro-
hibltion party in putting State tick
ct in the field relieves 10 entirely from
any odium attaching to 1t, should the
amendment be defeated. Previous to
that notion, we believe the amend
ment would be carried, but now we
IRE well satisfied of its defeat. Should
this be the case, we trust the Legisla
tore will amend the present license
law by adding local option clause, SC
that IN communities where they arr
opposed to the sale of spiritious liz
uors, they can drive IL from their midst
Bot whatever the outcome is, LET nj
see that our state and township tick
ets are elected by increased inajoritie

Fruits for the Plains.

Prof. Charles L. Bessey, OF Nebras-
ka, discussing in the American Agrt-
ca.ltugist for March the great changes
that have taken place in the horticul-
ture of the plains, says:
l have just passed through an ex-
perience which has materially changed
my views as to the growing of fruit up
on the great plains The winters for
several years have been very severe In
the West, testing old varieties to the
uttermost, and many tree which has
been regarded by its owner as perfect
" hardy, has succumbed to the extreme
cold. In Iowa, the past few winters
have destroyed thousands OF trees,
and in some instances whole orchards
have been swept away. Upon the
plains, to the westward of the Missou-
ri River. the conditions were originally
such. that few people had faith that
fruits could ever be grown there with
any hope of success. To one who has
been over these long, rolling stretches
of treeless land, the probability that
they could ever grow productive
orchards seemed remote indeed. Elk
cepting upon a comparatively narrow
strip along the Missouri River, there
were no native apples, plums, black
berries, raspberries, currants, or grapes.
Nature planted strawberries in abun'
dance everywhere on the plains, and IN
the region north of the Platte River a
promising-looking dwarf cherry.
But the recent meeting OF the Ne
braska State Horticulturist Society ha'
demonstrated that fruits, and fin'
fruits too, can be grown upon the for
ner ell but fruitless plains. The meet
ings, were held in the rooms of TIN
Department of Botany and Horticui
ture of the State University in the Cit,
: of Lincoln. The botanical laborator.

them near so much as a prospective

other diseases such as kidney and liver
complaints, are directly traceable to rheu-
matism or neuralgia. These diseases, for
some unexplainable reason, are rapidly IN
creasing, and in many instances are the
direct cause of much sickness which so
hides its real origin as to be mistaken tor
other diseases. In curing rheumatism, neu-
ralcia. sick headache and in many cases OF
kidney and liver troubles, Athlophoros has
wrought wonders. Those who have used

the most excruciating pains, which seemed

The platform of the new political
party organized at Cincinnati reads
like the ingenious advertisement OF
some quack cure-all patent medicine.
And as prescription for all the social
and political ills of the times it is just
about as valuable. 1t is a heterogene-
Gus compilation Of reform nostrums,
stirred up by some designing dema-
gognss, who have failed to obtain
notoriety in any other party, and so
have concluded to establish one of
their own. They would have accom-
plished just as much and occupied less
space il the delegates mad declared by
resolution that they were in favor Of
legislation that will remedy all the
evils incident to ambition, greed, in
temperance and poverty. When they
cnn do this by statutory enactment,
such convention as the one now in
session at Cincinnati will accomplish

Just as the TRIBUNE predicted, the
prohibitionists have placed a third
ticket ia the field and will work zeal
ously to secure for it the full vote of
the "third party" This plainly shows
that the spirit which has hitherto
been present in the prohibition party
flesh, and which has prompted that
party to run the Sunday afternoon
department Of democratic politics, " is
still present and eager as ever to do
what it can 20 aid the democratic par
ty. But how kind it was in them to
thank the legislature for submitting
the prohibition amendment And how
charatible in them to promise not ITO
stop to inquire into the political mo-
tives of those who have presented the
opportunity. 1t is enough to bring
tears from Cardiff giant to see the
angelic leaders of this third party de-
scend from the skies and bestow such
magnanimous favors upon the republl-
cans of Michigan. The republican
